GTX 780 ti Reference Cooler

[EssexBoy]

Hi guys

Just looking for some peace of mind about a 780 ti i have just bought on fleabay. I got it for £40 which seems to good to be true when faulty ones are going for more.

They have listed it as perfect working order but are bundling the card with thermal pads? They use TIM as afaik and makes me suspect it may be thermal throttling or fan working overtime that they could not fix.

Junk or bargain?

Thanks in advance

Thermal pads on the ram I guess, do you have a link or item number

Would not have thought the ram pads would need doing? Not had a card since GeForce4 MX days.

ah I thought you had bought the graphics card too and not just the cooler, that will be why they say the pads are included, I'm presuming you know you have just bought the cooler and not the graphics card?

Was gonna say £40 for a 780ti would be a steal! haha

There's a Windforce 780ti on there for 50 quid with a Used description. The fella has a 100% positive feedback rating too so possibly worth a punt,

Never used it, never will personally.
